1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the most challenging complications of diabetes mellitus. Chronic hyperglycemia contributes to impaired immune function, characterized by failure of macrophage polarization from the proinflammatory M1 to the prohealing M2 phenotype, together with increased release of inflammatory mediators. ON101 is a novel macrophage-regulating topical agent derived from botanical extracts, designed to suppress proinflammatory cytokines, restore M1/M2 macrophage balance, and promote collagen synthesis. We report the case of a 77-year-old man with diabetes mellitus who presented with a chronic, nonhealing ulcer of the right fifth toe with exposed tendon, persisting for 2 years despite conventional wound care and twice-daily Aquacel Ag
